Extreme Heat Action Profile: World Health Organization (WHO)
Organization: GHHIN, WMO & UNDRR
Year: 2025

Extreme heat is recognized as a critical challenge across sectors. United Nations agencies and international organizations are responding with dedicated strategies, resources, and governance mechanisms that reflect the growing urgency to address heat.
To better understand and elevate these efforts, the Global Heat Health Information Network (GHHIN) conducted a mapping of heat-related actions across United Nations agencies and international organizations. This process resulted in the development of sixteen Heat Action Profiles, each highlighting the specific initiatives, priorities, and contributions of individual United Nations entities.
This profile is part of that broader set, offering a concise overview of how this organization is advancing heat action.
